So many people bashing Behringer for their copycat-products, but honestly, I'm quite happy they do what they do. They make great classics synths available again, and no one has to worry about falling apart synths, leaking parts, costly repairs and no warranty at all. And I'm even more happy they made this Pro-800 replica! It has such a lovely 80's vibe, I must buy it immediately!
Anyone that bashes I just ignore. Like Femto said, it’s most likely folks that spent a fortune for the original. I think what Behringer is doing is absolutely brilliant. I’d never be able to afford an original Mini Moog but now I can get something basically identical for a small fraction of the price and with no worries of expensive maintenance. BEHRINGER RULES!!!!
@@richardfarabaugh7604 Or it's people who see companies we love for what they do: dare to experiment and push the envelope, fail miserably with many products (losing money in the process) and every now and again hit a gold-mine which they can then use in one way or the other to fund the above-described process in the future. Behringer blatantly stealing stuff undermines the payback from these legendary products and tightens the belt, making it more difficult to experiment and make weird stuff that might end up clicking or not clicking. In other words: if Behringer existed decades ago I doubt anyone would have enough room to experiment and fail as they used to, reducing the chances for industry-changing gear like the 808 or the 303 to even be considered for production.
@@milosmilosmilos I’m just happy that owning a quality sounding synth isn’t just limited to the upper class that can afford to spend thousands on one. I soooo wanted to get into synthesizers in the late 80’s and the nineties and even the early 2000’s but I couldn’t afford it. Now I can and I can try out multiple types and not just be limited to the lowest tier junk.
The simple fact is, We live in a world where many people have low incomes, high living expenses, and not a lot to get excited about in life. Behringer comes along and offers something the ordinary keyboard player, who could only dream of owning a Prophet 5, Juno 60, Arp 2500 or MiniMoog. Nobody in there right mind, can put down Behringer, when they bring so many, otherwise unattainable, synths, into the homes of music lovers.
C'mon, you can't be serious, it would be great if they hit the shipping date . . . but they won't. I'll put money on late 2023 / early 2024. But saying that they could get a few early units into the shops in Spring (translation June), which will be snapped up immediately, then it'll be months (like I say, best guess, late 2023 / early 2024) before they are in the shops and available to most people.
Apparently not Behringer as they stopped Sonicstate reviewing their gear a couple of years ago because one of their guests said in a podcast that he did not like the company.
Yeah, pretty good. But, by minute one, Nick would have already swept the pulse width from zero to zero, and would have tested the filter to see if it would self oscillate.
I have no problem with Behringer making clones of classic synths, but I really think their deepmind was proof they could do something unique. No doubt the clones sell more, but hoping they’ll do some more of the new stuff too.
The Deepmind was a Juno 106 clone dude. It just wasn’t in name. All they did was make up their own name. I will say I like that better than the rip-off names. People will still know, well except you. 😉
Finally...a bare bones polyphonic synth with two oscillators per voice and eight voices that is programmable. At $400.00, it's a no-brainer, and will be a nice compliment to my Deepmind. Thanks again, Behringer! Get them to the stores!
I already hold this sonic pallet, but I am so excited it will be accessible to many more people than ever before. I hope it inspires people to further their artistic identity the way I feel with my instruments.
@@eladreltuc yeah, I have acquired (mostly inherited by luck) quite a few of Dave Smith’s Instruments over the years. I still feel like a child with them, so it makes me happy to see his legacy further garnered and appreciated,
Hopefully there's polychain modes where you can get 2 units and hard pan them L/R - then get 4 units and have 16 voices hard panned L/R...! :) 19" rack is my fave format
Not my fave format i like to have a synth panel with knobs in front of me , more inspiring but sure if you’re going to buy dozens of synths then it would be practical to have some rack mounted.
@@georgegeorgio1751 well there’s nothing stopping you from having the knobs in front of you on the primary unit. I use tall 42U network racks with a keyboard controller in front
I realize that voice-panning is more an Oberheim thing than a Prophet feature (at least until Dave released the VS), but I do wish that Behringer had gone one better than Sequential and given the Pro-800 stereo outputs just for the option of being able to spread out those 8 voices. Just adding stereo FX isn't the same as creating a wide poly-synth field.
The original and new Prophet 5s are mono too. With these kinds of synths you just double track with slightly different parameters panning to L & R and you get that huge wide gooey sound
@ghost mall indeed. I've various behringer clones and the originals, and they pretty sound the same. But of course nothing compares to having the real thing.
Definitely sounds less analog and growling in the filter. They've captured some of it, but oddly enough it's how the Gligli (a modern "implant" processor swap) makes the P600 lose its edge, I would've preferred they kept the brutal character of the p600 entact - which is what makes it such a demon! This is like a mini demon. For those who haven't messed around with the real one, it can be really dark and derezzed. Obviously the folks at behringer like the gligli p600 over the real one, but that's cool.
I owned the Prophet 600 when it came out and absolutely loved it. Sadly it was stolen from my home when I moved back to the UK from Japan. Great to see this Behringer which I'll purchase and hope it turns out to be as good as this review suggests.
That's tough. One of the reasons I don't want to go back to the states is thievery. I live in Taiwan and don't even have to lock my doors when I go out. Sure Japan is similar.
I am pleased this will finally, actually release in the spring. The ONLY thing they could have done to make it a TINY bit better is add PWM A to the Poly Mod section and have USB on the front panel as with Cat and Model D. As for poly rack mount - Studio Electronics for a bit more dosh... Also, you should have shown it with a better controller and highlighted a bit the supposedly full MIDI CC implementation.
@@datapusher- Nah, I have zero interest in new synths. I much prefer cheap recreations of vintage synths I don't already own but wouldn't necessarily buy like this one. The more they make , the better. Plus I gotta be honest, people getting upset about "copies" makes me all happy inside.

@@guser7137 when you say underhand you’re trying to put a person down for stating the truth it’s quite clear he tries to do silly little things in between talking serious about a new model you can tell the guy from Behringer would just like to get on with the demo but no jack has to act silly as he mostly does. And whilst he’s ok at playing standard stuff like organ and piano he really should try listening to some Jarre , Numan , Duran , Kool and Gang if he wants people to sit up and take notice, this has nothing to do with Xmas we all get into the season when it arrives where not there yet so don’t try that one on me.
@@georgegeorgio1751 "The Truth" as according the great George Georgio. Entertainers entertain. Some people probably hate many of the bands that you think are great. If he mostly acts silly, and hasn't been booted off he's probably doing something right.
@@guser7137 Hey it’s not just those few acts i mentioned there were plenty others from that era that even you could not deny sound amazing so all i’m saying is that he does some homework and listen to music of the time instead playing some generic lines , also synthesis is not his forte needs to learn a bit more about modulation routing etc, also see all the comments on his UB-XA demo where he got a shellacking what’s that tell you Guser?
This sounds absolutely mega! Love that they've included total midi control as well, imagine that glide sound and using an expression pedal on the filter daaaym!
I found an old prophet 600 here in China and picked it up for $200. Needed some work and finally found a guy who was willing to help. Said guy then stole it and I never saw him again.
Should be a big seller. I like the Korg Minilogue run in slave and master mode. 2 of them = 8 voices. Pretty nice option. Where many synths shine or breakdown is in the clarity of the analog outputs. This clarity varies even within the same manufacturer. For Ex., if you listen to the 880, 1080, 2080, 5080, line from Roland some sound great, others sound like there is a blanket over the sound, sounding very dull. This is because of the analog outputs not all being created equal! Always consider this, its the last exit point of all synths. The JV880 sounded great, as did the Roland S760 sampler outputs. As Roland expanded the line up, not all sounded good, I recall being disappointed and surprised.
Glad I've been a subscriber for a while, I'll be honest, anything Behringer right now I would love. Hard to argue that they arnt the most important synth manufacturer right now. They are doing god's work.
Oh gosh, this is essentially the synth that I've been looking for. I'm not interested in an actual vintage synth for a number of reasons (price, maintenance, size more often than not): but this has the Radiohead/Postal Service analog poly vibe I've been hunting. The sounds of the aughts, via the tech of the 80's, made accessible in the 20's
Postal service used mostly digital polysynths. The Kurzweil and Nord keyboards. Drum machine was the OG elektron drum. You might already know this, but since you’re a fan thought you may be interested :-)
Radiohead have been using the Prophet 08 for years. The Rev 2 isn’t crazy silly price wise and adds a lot of features that this doesn’t have. Wouldn’t be too surprised if the module is available second hand for not much more than this. But this does do a lot of things right.
@@3rdStoreyChemist Are they still? I thought they moved on after like the KOL and Daily mail/Staircase era. Idk, I had a couple prophet 08s and they were pretty lackluster
You should stop saying this, the prophet 600 which this emulates has a far wider range of sounds it can achieve, the deepmind relies on dual mode and lots of effects it’s not a bad synth but doesn’t have a lot of character @Satanic Panic Fun and Games
@@jansonrawlings8169 Not seen anything to suggest they're using something else. Never got on with the OG, but the amount of pro users that got great things out of them, do have to a step back and question how much of the issue is the synth. I got on much better with the Rev 2 and its one of very few synths I regret selling actually. I can understand why people don't get on with either, as its not particularly exciting played in solo, but I found it easy to mix, which can't be said of many synths.
Anyone notice that fists pumps engage Scooby Doo Time Warp ®? Still in bed so haven't listened yet but will and that was quick too Jack, I distinctly remember a convo that something something bang, here we are lol.
Nice to see the legend Nick Batt is being mentioned Can't wait to see their demo on SonicState! As you can see, the Deepmind has induvidual led's that are indicating the amount of voices that are being used, is that also visible in the Pro-800? I don't see blinking lights on the pro-800 that would've been a nice feature.
@@ogasi1798 I know its fully cramped with Electronics, but I think there is more than enough space to integrale a small strip led in this box, or a kind of active voice indication, how are you so sure, there is no room left? Are you part of the engineering team?
After Anderton's bombed the UB-Xa preview so hard last time, they definitely need someone to come in and oversee the testing of Behringer gear. I'm glad to see Daniel came.
That UB-Xa demo wasn't so bad - it was just Jack wanted to hear the raw waves and play it somewhat stabbily.. when the masses just wanted to hear Jump sounds 😂 I don't think it would have mattered if prototypes of it weren't in such short supply
This looks like an incredible bread and butter analog workhorse. I'd much rather program basic sounds on a knob per function synth like Pro-800 than my menu divey DM12D.
@@dankeplace agree i had the dm6 and it was ok nothing to write home about the dm 12 sounds good cause of it’s dual mode but to me it sounds fake in dual mode not like a real vintage poly
@@georgegeorgio1751 This is why I use it as a backing synth, with its built in FX it just seems better than wasting more money on an FX box + synth. It is versatile but it's not my go to synth for pads. My Rev 2 cost a little more than the DM12D and totally destroys it. The 2 synths do complement each other though, just that the menu diving on the DM12 is appalling.
@@dankeplace The iPad editor app makes it far more tolerable for complex routings and especially for effects management -- handling FX is the worst part through the HW UI ... Sadly I haven't used my DM12 much since I got my Hydrasynth -- which really opened my eyes to how much of a difference a well designed UI makes. That's going to be my primary consideration when I pick a new Analog poly -- leaning toward either a Novation Peak or maybe save for an OB6 or Prophet Rev 2 Desktop.
Well I thought I was done buying synths. Oh who am I kidding, I’ll never be done. Great demo. Gives that prophet sound without the price tag or old synth issues.
Sounds awesome! But I do seem to hear some indications that the release shape of the envelopes still have this weird linear shape where the release fades out in an unnatural way, as if it suddenly cuts off. I'd prefer more of an exponential shape, as it sounds more natural. This wasone of the points of criticism towards the GliGli thing, I think. I hope we get some options as far as the envelope shape goes :) Otherwise it does sound marvellous!
it is finished, and now that chips are available again it will come to the market ASAP. I assume it'll be mid 2023, like the 800. unless they surprise us. no news on the Edge, though. I remember waiting for the crave, Behringer is always announcing too early, bummer.
it's coming, we just went through another board revision - it will be supreme when it lands - fwiw the 800 was always the 1`st release and being released before the UBXA
@@spectralknights2 can't help on that other than to say we are changing parts in it to get a better response from the circuits - we want more oomph available basically so users can decde how badass they want it to be, once all developers and OG owners are happy it will fly out
Depends which filter you like; Deepmind is the Juno 106 filter, this one is a version of the Prophet filter. They both sound great but they do sound quite different. Also, the Deepmind is, well, deeper, with a great mod matrix and amazing effects. Excellent for making complex evolving patches. I’d go with the Pro 800 if i just wanted an analog poly for basic chord stuff because i love the richness Prophet filter design. But at the price point you could buy both for the same price as many medium-tier synths.
I don't think it was covered very well in this video. The 800 also has a huge amount of MIDI implementation under the hood. Just about all of the settings can be controlled via MIDI cc. So if you like those manual filter sweeps or ADSR changes, I believe this thing can do that. I don't know if it transmits MIDI cc for each control. But if it does... wowzers.
Mainly, I hope this leads to Sequential thinking about doing a desktop version of the Take 5, for around 900. But, competition hasn't stopped Fender guitars pricing to the moon. They could call it the Sequential Take Out. Remove the non-essential stuff, plain casing. Take out the less than amazing parts, like the effects. I could even live without the headphone output, expression pedal I/O, possibly the sequencer. And even mono I could live with at a push. But this does sound good, and it's nice to get the 8 voices, the gligli and it be rackmountable. Makes me wonder what was up with the UBXA video hmmm maybe they can't tell us.
Dear jack, could we please have an out door busking demo of a Behringer clone (but make sure you don't record the audio correctly so chat goes mental) which has a bit of on cam maltese falcon action for absolute peak Anderton Keys vibe
Kinda glad they sent someone this time haha.. No offense! This synth sounds GREAT and really is something off a game changer. Portability and polyphony? Amazing
That is so good! I just picked up a Behringer Model D and a Swing as my Christmas goodie for this year, don't tell Lee or Pete, but I can see adding one of these too as soon as they are out. I'm even poking around the idea of adding in the other desktops that Behringer have released like the K-2, Pro-1, Cat, Neutron, and Wasp Deluxe. For what I dropped on a Bassbreaker 30R I could have an instant classic synth collection that I can't play. 🤪 Yet.
Wait, the gligli mod also included midi compatibility for the perimeters. Is the 800 going to also have the capability to respond to CC automation via midi????
Jack you’re not playing to your strengths when demoing these analog poly synths .You’re missing a trick. Jack you’re such a great piano player ….so therefore MIDI this module to an 88 key piano or Rhodes or something similar . Matt Johnson always partners and LAYERS the poly synth to a piano of sorts…. Not for fun but for a very good reason 👍👍
I agree. Still it's not embarrassing to watch like the time Behringer got beaten to the drop and ended up with a video that wasn't a good look for Jack or the product.
@@gersonpagan the UB-Xa. My guess is that the surprise launch of the Oberheim caused panic at Behringer. I imagine that they threw a poorly set-up prototype into the back of a car and raced down the motorway to Andertons and gave them 30 minutes to play something on it and get it up on RUclips ASAP. The result was the synth didn't sound too good and Jack looked like it was the first time he'd ever gone near a synth with knobs on it.

Yeah he’s not a synth player that’s for sure, needs to go listen some classic 70’s & 80s stuff.
@@georgegeorgio1751 Always someone ready to chime in with some negative underhand comment. It's Christmas.
@@guser7137 when you say underhand you’re trying to put a person down for stating the truth it’s quite clear he tries to do silly little things in between talking serious about a new model you can tell the guy from Behringer would just like to get on with the demo but no jack has to act silly as he mostly does.
And whilst he’s ok at playing standard stuff like organ and piano
he really should try listening to some Jarre , Numan , Duran , Kool and Gang if he wants people to sit up and take notice, this has nothing to do with Xmas we all get into the season when it arrives where not there yet so don’t try that one on me.
@@georgegeorgio1751 "The Truth" as according the great George Georgio. Entertainers entertain. Some people probably hate many of the bands that you think are great. If he mostly acts silly, and hasn't been booted off he's probably doing something right.
@@guser7137 Hey it’s not just those few acts i mentioned there were plenty others from that era that even you could not deny sound amazing so all i’m saying is that he
does some homework and listen to music of the time instead playing some generic lines , also synthesis is not his forte needs to learn a bit more about modulation routing etc, also see all the comments on his UB-XA demo where he got a shellacking what’s that tell you Guser?
I watched exactly 3 minutes of the video and Im ready to go buy one. lol
This sounds absolutely mega! Love that they've included total midi control as well, imagine that glide sound and using an expression pedal on the filter daaaym!
Sounds exactly like what I need, and for once I'll be able to afford it! Thanks Behringer
This sounds amazing! Behringer smashing it out of the park with this one - 8 voices!! Love it! (I appreciated the nods to Sonicstate 😍)
I found an old prophet 600 here in China and picked it up for $200. Needed some work and finally found a guy who was willing to help. Said guy then stole it and I never saw him again.
ouch!
I wonder if I’ll still need/want my Pro-1 after getting this? 🤔
Gonna need this one.
Should be a big seller. I like the Korg Minilogue run in slave and master mode. 2 of them = 8 voices. Pretty nice option. Where many synths shine or breakdown is in the clarity of the analog outputs. This clarity varies even within the same manufacturer. For Ex., if you listen to the 880, 1080, 2080, 5080, line from Roland some sound great, others sound like there is a blanket over the sound, sounding very dull. This is because of the analog outputs not all being created equal! Always consider this, its the last exit point of all synths. The JV880 sounded great, as did the Roland S760 sampler outputs. As Roland expanded the line up, not all sounded good, I recall being disappointed and surprised.
Glad I've been a subscriber for a while, I'll be honest, anything Behringer right now I would love. Hard to argue that they arnt the most important synth manufacturer right now. They are doing god's work.
Waiting for that synth...bomb 💥
Oh boy,I might have to pre-order this🗽🛸
Been waiting a while for this one! I have the Pro 1, but now I gotta get the 800!!!
Oh gosh, this is essentially the synth that I've been looking for. I'm not interested in an actual vintage synth for a number of reasons (price, maintenance, size more often than not): but this has the Radiohead/Postal Service analog poly vibe I've been hunting.
The sounds of the aughts, via the tech of the 80's, made accessible in the 20's
Postal service used mostly digital polysynths. The Kurzweil and Nord keyboards. Drum machine was the OG elektron drum. You might already know this, but since you’re a fan thought you may be interested :-)
Radiohead have been using the Prophet 08 for years. The Rev 2 isn’t crazy silly price wise and adds a lot of features that this doesn’t have. Wouldn’t be too surprised if the module is available second hand for not much more than this.
But this does do a lot of things right.
@@3rdStoreyChemist Are they still? I thought they moved on after like the KOL and Daily mail/Staircase era. Idk, I had a couple prophet 08s and they were pretty lackluster
You should stop saying this, the prophet 600 which this emulates has a far wider range of sounds it can achieve, the deepmind relies on dual mode and lots of effects it’s not a bad synth but doesn’t have a lot of character @Satanic Panic Fun and Games
@@jansonrawlings8169 Not seen anything to suggest they're using something else.
Never got on with the OG, but the amount of pro users that got great things out of them, do have to a step back and question how much of the issue is the synth.
I got on much better with the Rev 2 and its one of very few synths I regret selling actually. I can understand why people don't get on with either, as its not particularly exciting played in solo, but I found it easy to mix, which can't be said of many synths.
8:03 is the best part of the demo, when Maltese Falcon starts to play
All these synths and yet NO Awesome Midi Keyboard / Controller?!?! WOW
Used to have a Prophet-600 back in the day. This might very likely be my next purchase. ❤
Anyone notice that fists pumps engage Scooby Doo Time Warp ®?
Still in bed so haven't listened yet but will and that was quick too Jack, I distinctly remember a convo that something something bang, here we are lol.
Nice to see the legend Nick Batt is being mentioned Can't wait to see their demo on SonicState! As you can see, the Deepmind has induvidual led's that are indicating the amount of voices that are being used, is that also visible in the Pro-800? I don't see blinking lights on the pro-800 that would've been a nice feature.
there are no voice led on the 800 no - we have no space to add a strip of led and keep the look
@@ogasi1798 I know its fully cramped with Electronics, but I think there is more than enough space to integrale a small strip led in this box, or a kind of active voice indication, how are you so sure, there is no room left? Are you part of the engineering team?
@@Dolle_Man yeah, i developed pretty much every release since rd8 - trust me when i say the interface would get ruined if we added a strip of led
@G pulse widthmodulation?
@G
After Anderton's bombed the UB-Xa preview so hard last time, they definitely need someone to come in and oversee the testing of Behringer gear. I'm glad to see Daniel came.
That UB-Xa demo wasn't so bad - it was just Jack wanted to hear the raw waves and play it somewhat stabbily.. when the masses just wanted to hear Jump sounds 😂 I don't think it would have mattered if prototypes of it weren't in such short supply
Where is the Solina?
Mono out, no effects? I kind of like that. Gives you a clean slate to start your effects chain.
analog, its kinda how it should be,,
Exactly, we all have all kind of pedals now!
L and R outs is my one wish for it....but maybe they want you to buy 2
@@fortheloveofnoise right and left outs only needed if you have chorus or panned voices
@@fortheloveofnoise You gain nothing from that. This is a mono as opposed to stereo synth.
Behringer upsetting the real ale snobs once again. Love it.
Behringer will make you an offer you can't refuse!
This looks like an incredible bread and butter analog workhorse. I'd much rather program basic sounds on a knob per function synth like Pro-800 than my menu divey DM12D.
DM12D is a pita, but it can do things that my other gear doesn't, I use it for backing, sometimes additional padding on pads.
UI is just ballz.
@@dankeplace satanic panic thinks it’s the best
@@dankeplace agree i had the dm6 and it was ok nothing to write home about the dm 12 sounds good cause of it’s dual mode but to me it sounds fake in dual mode not like a real vintage poly
@@georgegeorgio1751 This is why I use it as a backing synth, with its built in FX it just seems better than wasting more money on an FX box + synth.
It is versatile but it's not my go to synth for pads.
My Rev 2 cost a little more than the DM12D and totally destroys it.
The 2 synths do complement each other though, just that the menu diving on the DM12 is appalling.
@@dankeplace The iPad editor app makes it far more tolerable for complex routings and especially for effects management -- handling FX is the worst part through the HW UI ...
Sadly I haven't used my DM12 much since I got my Hydrasynth -- which really opened my eyes to how much of a difference a well designed UI makes. That's going to be my primary consideration when I pick a new Analog poly -- leaning toward either a Novation Peak or maybe save for an OB6 or Prophet Rev 2 Desktop.
It sounds amazing!
Pro-800: singing beautiful sounds
DeepMind: 266 BPM!!!!
just awesome!
Well I thought I was done buying synths. Oh who am I kidding, I’ll never be done. Great demo. Gives that prophet sound without the price tag or old synth issues.
I already got a Deepmind12, do I need this one or I can make my Deepmind12 sounding the same?
Price too good to pass up, preordered baby!!
Sounds awesome! But I do seem to hear some indications that the release shape of the envelopes still have this weird linear shape where the release fades out in an unnatural way, as if it suddenly cuts off. I'd prefer more of an exponential shape, as it sounds more natural. This wasone of the points of criticism towards the GliGli thing, I think. I hope we get some options as far as the envelope shape goes :) Otherwise it does sound marvellous!
we have fast linear, slow linear, fast expo and slo expo so far - we may add more shapes in FW updates down the road, let's see 🙂
@@ogasi1798 Good stuff! can't wait to mess with it :)
@@ogasi1798 Good to know thanks!
I don't have any Behringer but I got two of these, one for each channel for true stereo.
Behringer does it again, great sythersizors at great prices.
Will this fit in my stand up rack that has my neutron in it? Same size?
This is killer, thanks!
... But what happened to the ub-xa?
it is finished, and now that chips are available again it will come to the market ASAP. I assume it'll be mid 2023, like the 800. unless they surprise us. no news on the Edge, though.
I remember waiting for the crave, Behringer is always announcing too early, bummer.
it's coming, we just went through another board revision - it will be supreme when it lands - fwiw the 800 was always the 1`st release and being released before the UBXA
@@ogasi1798 how about the 2XM release?
@@spectralknights2 can't help on that other than to say we are changing parts in it to get a better response from the circuits - we want more oomph available basically so users can decde how badass they want it to be, once all developers and OG owners are happy it will fly out
@@ogasi17982XM and Polivoks before civilization collapses would be nice .
I can't wait to have this in my studio!!
Sounds amazing!!
🔥👏🔥...👍TOP👍I love this Sound....🔥👏🔥Thanks Behringer !
I'd love to hear the DeepMind vs Pro800...
Depends which filter you like; Deepmind is the Juno 106 filter, this one is a version of the Prophet filter. They both sound great but they do sound quite different. Also, the Deepmind is, well, deeper, with a great mod matrix and amazing effects. Excellent for making complex evolving patches. I’d go with the Pro 800 if i just wanted an analog poly for basic chord stuff because i love the richness Prophet filter design. But at the price point you could buy both for the same price as many medium-tier synths.
@@sub-jec-tivI'm torn now. Pro 800 + Model D
Or
Pro 800 + Deepmind
Nice, I can trigger it with my UBXA!
Sounds awesome
Es ist so schön beim Werbung schauen jetzt auch noch Werbung schauen zu dürfen
Game changer for Behringer, will be no 1. You can chain 8 VCOs to one mono unison, also GliGli + Japan version noise generator. 😀
Awesome!!
I don't think it was covered very well in this video. The 800 also has a huge amount of MIDI implementation under the hood. Just about all of the settings can be controlled via MIDI cc. So if you like those manual filter sweeps or ADSR changes, I believe this thing can do that.
I don't know if it transmits MIDI cc for each control. But if it does... wowzers.
What do you expect from andertons he has always mucked around too much trying too hard to be funny
@@georgegeorgio1751 They are a synth shop. I don't expect them to deep dive on one product. I'm a 50 year old audio nerd. I just shrug.
Mainly, I hope this leads to Sequential thinking about doing a desktop version of the Take 5, for around 900. But, competition hasn't stopped Fender guitars pricing to the moon. They could call it the Sequential Take Out. Remove the non-essential stuff, plain casing. Take out the less than amazing parts, like the effects. I could even live without the headphone output, expression pedal I/O, possibly the sequencer. And even mono I could live with at a push. But this does sound good, and it's nice to get the 8 voices, the gligli and it be rackmountable. Makes me wonder what was up with the UBXA video hmmm maybe they can't tell us.
is this more similar to a prophet-600 or is it basically their version of a poly pro-1?
Have a feeling I’m gonna be competing with Kevin Parker for a unit
Nick Batt shoutout!!!
Dear jack, could we please have an out door busking demo of a Behringer clone (but make sure you don't record the audio correctly so chat goes mental) which has a bit of on cam maltese falcon action for absolute peak Anderton Keys vibe
Kinda glad they sent someone this time haha.. No offense! This synth sounds GREAT and really is something off a game changer. Portability and polyphony? Amazing
Getting MAJOR GAS 😍😍😍
That is so good! I just picked up a Behringer Model D and a Swing as my Christmas goodie for this year, don't tell Lee or Pete, but I can see adding one of these too as soon as they are out. I'm even poking around the idea of adding in the other desktops that Behringer have released like the K-2, Pro-1, Cat, Neutron, and Wasp Deluxe.
For what I dropped on a Bassbreaker 30R I could have an instant classic synth collection that I can't play. 🤪
Yet.
Wait, the gligli mod also included midi compatibility for the perimeters. Is the 800 going to also have the capability to respond to CC automation via midi????
Yes.
Jack you’re not playing to your strengths when demoing these analog poly synths .You’re missing a trick.
Jack you’re such a great piano player ….so therefore MIDI this module to an 88 key piano or Rhodes or something similar .
Matt Johnson always partners and LAYERS the poly synth to a piano of sorts…. Not for fun but for a very good reason 👍👍
I agree. Still it's not embarrassing to watch like the time Behringer got beaten to the drop and ended up with a video that wasn't a good look for Jack or the product.
@@unclemick-synths which video was that?
@@gersonpagan the UB-Xa. My guess is that the surprise launch of the Oberheim caused panic at Behringer. I imagine that they threw a poorly set-up prototype into the back of a car and raced down the motorway to Andertons and gave them 30 minutes to play something on it and get it up on RUclips ASAP. The result was the synth didn't sound too good and Jack looked like it was the first time he'd ever gone near a synth with knobs on it.
@@unclemick-synths oh, I remember now. That was not to Anderton's standards.
@@unclemick-synths you don't know the real story so stop making stuff up.
